DEMOCRATS GIGGING THERE OWN RAVE AGAIN!!

the one, main reason i was hesitant about voting for Obama was his hesitatncy to fight back when punched. granted he did have the heoric news confernece to push back the scurilous innuendo about his relationship to reverned wright, but for the most part until the last few months of the democratic nominatin proces he was always late to the fight when it came to sticking up for himself, with the same tenacity of force as the punch he recieved, when it came to protectig himself against attacks from other democratic opponets, namely hilary clinton. my vote leaned towards hilary, not that my state at the time PA had a say in nomintating the demoratic canidate, thats a grudge for another time, but in the debate in my head around that time i was fearful that obama was to nice and timid to fight in the modern political areana. that he was too rational, that is to say, that he was still under the impression that a rational argument was a suffecient way to gain support for his ideas or that a rational rebuttal to criticism from republicans was indeed enough to sheild himself form attacks. the rational in politics today is dying a slow death merely look at cheney or fox news. i still think hilary would have been a stronger candidate and president when it comes to taking on the republicans and fighting back at the nonsense that fox news spews. do u think hilary would have been mostly silent if some sort of birther movement had arisen around her. i can say with confidence that she would have said something out of her own mouth and continued to fight the nonsense until opinion polls gave her side of the argument a greater percnetage of support. the same with death panels and the like. sometimes a president has to say things themselves about stories swirling out in the politicl ether in order to debunk them. in this sense i see obama as a john kerry type who when faced with swift boats didnt speak up fast enough and by the time he did it was too late. you see in this age of media manipulation and media complicency ideas and stories that would have in the past stayed on the fringes and in the margins are given legitmacy by fox news and drudge. for some reason democrats dont get that reality or are unwilling to fight back(i havestrong suspicions why they dont fight back but that is for another time). obama just doesnt have it in him to fight back at least not to this point. what republicans have figured out is that the electorate likes a brawler, case in point cheny, rove fox news, etc.. until the democrats figure that out, they will forever be political chumps and left dumbfounded when events like losing Mass senate seats happen. it happens when for a whole year we see our democratic president and majorities in the house and senate bow down to republican bullying, succumbing at every turn to republican threats and out manuvered by republican narrative. the political backlash against democrats in 2010 will come not form there ideas or even there idealoigies, but from the voracity of narrative which lacks any roar or power and seems impotent and ineffectual at every turn..
